This week’s focus will include the following skills:

  • Author’s purpose (8.1.spi.12)
  • Literary elements-Flashback, Foreshadowing, Irony, Tone, Mood and Symbolism (8.1.spi.4)

The above skills are review skills. Students should have previously written notes and practice examples in their spiral notebooks. Remember to review notes and examples daily.

We will discuss and review the above skills orally in class. Then, we will apply what we have learned to practice skills/lessons from our TCAP Coach books and lessons from Study Island.

Parents,

Please remember to review your child’s Take-Home Folder. Students are eligible for bonus points this week for having the papers signed by parents!

This will be a great week with much learning and significant progress!
